By creating a park there, they will diminish the use of Wick Park by the new residents moving in on Madison, creating yet again more class divide, and stalling development of the Wick Park area. Please tell me I'm wrong. I so want to be wrong about this. Just seems to me to be a continuation of the problems outlined in "Why the Garden Club Couldn't Save Youngstown".Debra Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805188724349679279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-52005952294280999862010-06-03T17:55:52.571+02:002010-06-03T17:55:52.571+02:00I'm confused.

I thought that recently they were given NSP funds. For all of the years that Wick Neighbors has been in existence, we get what? Another park! We have parks in the city have been closed down for lack of funds to maintain them. Not to mention we have a need for Wick Park Revitalization. I'm confused. Someone please explain this to me. In my opinion this decision regarding another park is right up there with turning the Wick Pollack into a house for the new president when we have numerous homes on Fifth Avenue for sale, and several huge houses on Wick Park that I'm sure could be renovated for less than 4 mil. What we really needed was a hotel. In my opinion it is decisions such as this that keep Youngstown struggling. I'm frustrated and getting angrier by the day.Debra Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805188724349679279noreply@blogger.com
